Ricardo, you've just posted the KING of ants here. Viewing the ant theme, it's clear none has this stunning quality, specially remarquable for 10mm insect macro. You did well in shooting from above to reduce the effect of the insect lenght on the focus, so your DOF is very good. I also like the downwards position. Congratulations.

Ricardo, sempre que você fica um dia ou dois sem postar uma de suas fotos no TN penso que você deve estar preparando alguma foto ótima para nós.

Com a foto acima não foi diferente: excelente macro numa excelente composição com grande nitidez.

Great composition on this one Ricardo. Thats quite a nasty looking ant. Its sharp yes but your last post on the Frog gives a new meaning to "sharp". Great post.

Hello Ricardo
This is very nice, but this is not one of your best ;)
Great POV and composition, nice colours and DOF.

This is sharp, but not enough IMHO.
Very good post Ricardo, well done.

Great close-up Ricardo, why do I always have the felling that you have a grey filter on your posts?

Wow, that ant looks huge. Very impressive "hairy" closeup, and a nice compositional diagonal made by the blade on which it is sitting. Excellent notes, too, fine job on this posting. Happy New Year to you.

Firstly, please allow me to wish you all the best for 2005, Ricardo. I have been away for a while and missed some of your shots, I have a weeks vacation left and might drop off the radar again.

This macro shot of the ant is exceptional. Both in quality and interesting subject. The abdomen covered only half in hair fascinating. Such a great shot, well done.

Hello Ricardo,
I've never seen such a close-up of an Ant before. I watched a TV show about Ants recently, the social ranks and rules they have are quite amazing! It's a nice shot too, good detail, good exposure and light, excellent DOF and great colours. Interesting note too, a good post.
Regards,
Adrian

Hello Ricardo, very well done on getting so close to this ant. I think a little more fill flash to bring out more of the ant and less of the bg and maybe the head and eye could be slightly sharper. They are small nits as I realise these are not easy to do and in my experience ants do not sit around for long! Well done

*I've turned off my points, I cannot recieve and I cannot give. I'm sorry for the latter*
